1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Obesity-induced changes in adipose vasculature are well documented, but systematic analyses in other tissues have not been as extensive. Here, we analyze the vessel-covered area and endothelial cell (EC) numbers in seven non-adipose organs (liver, heart, intestine, kidney, lung, ear skin, retina) in male mice after short-term high-fat diet (HFD) feeding (5 days or 5 weeks), long-term HFD feeding (10 weeks), and weight loss (5 weeks of HFD followed by 5 weeks of chow feeding). We show HFD-induced morphological changes in the liver, heart, kidney, and intestinal vasculatures, and a negative correlation between body weight and vessel density in most of the analyzed tissues. Interestingly, changes in vessel area do not always reflect alterations in EC numbers. Additionally, both the intestine and ear skin show preserved vessel perfusion in response to obesity. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of how different HFD feeding durations affect organotypic vasculature and reports that HFD feeding induces organ-specific vascular remodeling with distinct temporal dynamics in mice.
